Illustration for Privacy Act 2020

If the Commissioner conducts an inquiry under section 17(1)(i), they must follow the rules set out in sections 86 to 90. These rules explain how the Commissioner should carry out the inquiry. When you read these sections, you should think of the word "investigation" as meaning "inquiry" instead.
